Major changes:
1380 dpurdie 5
    * Subversion support
6
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
7
      SubVersion. Changes include:
8
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
9
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
10
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 11
 
12
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 13
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
14
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
15
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
16
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
17
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
18
 
1341 dpurdie 19
    * Utility: svnsave_build
20
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
21
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
22
 
1348 dpurdie 23
    * Linux support utilities
24
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
25
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
26
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

31
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 32
    * Subversion Repository location
33
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
34
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
35
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
36
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
37
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.

39
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 40
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
41
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
42
 
1269 dpurdie 43
    * Utility: svnrelease
44
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
45
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
46
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
47
 
1328 dpurdie 48
    * Utility: svnsave_build
49
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
50
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
51
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
52
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 53
 
54
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
55
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
56
 
1328 dpurdie 57
    * Utility: sandbox
58
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
59
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
60
 
61
      Subcommand: populate
62
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
63
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
64
      sandbox.
65
 
1269 dpurdie 66
    * Subversion Support
67
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
68
      repository is not supported.
69
 
70
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
71
      a progress indication.
72
 
73
    * Jats Online Documentation
74
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
75
      online documentation.
76
 
1328 dpurdie 77
    * Generated makefiles
78
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

124
Major changes:
125
 
126
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 127
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 128
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
129
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
130
 
131
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 132
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
155
Major changes:
156
 
157
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
158
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
159
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
160
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
161
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
162
 
163
    * C# Toolchain
164
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

      jats.sh example (Unix)
173
      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
174
 
175
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
176
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
177
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
178
 
179
    * Utility ccrelease
180
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
181
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
182
 
183
    * Utility: svn
184
      Improved package import processing.
185
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
186
 
187
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
188
      Added support for Subversion.
189
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.

      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
191
 
192
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
193
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
194
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

377 dpurdie 199
Version:  2.99.2000.cr                               Released: 3-Feb-12
200

201
Major changes:
202
 
203
Minor changes:
204

206
 
207
    * GCC Toolset

375 dpurdie 211
Version:  2.99.1000.cr                               Released: 13-Jan-12
212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
213
Major changes:
214
 
215
Minor changes:
216
    * Command: jats clobber
217
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
218
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
219
 
220
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
221
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
222
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
223
 
224
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
225
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
226
 
377 dpurdie 227
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
228
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
229
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 230
 
231
    * jats svnlabel
232
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
233
 
234
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
235
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
236
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
237
 
238
    * Built Daemon support
239
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
240
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
241
 
242
------------------------------------------------------------------------
373 dpurdie 243
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
245
Major changes:
246
    * GCC Toolset
247
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
248
      New methodology is:
249
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
250
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
251
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
252
        as the main binary.
253
 
254
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
255
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
256
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
257
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
258
      both worlds.
259
 
260
Minor changes:
261
    * HTML Documentation
262
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
263
 
264
Internal changes:
265
    * Generated makefiles
266
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by

271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
272
Major changes:
273
    * Jats Sandbox
274
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
275
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
276
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
277
 
278
    * RIORDS Platform
279
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
280
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

303
 
304
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
305
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
306
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
307
      a vob.
308
 
309
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

    * jats build -noforce
395
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
396
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
397
      be forced.
398
 
399
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
400
 
401
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
402
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
403
 
404
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
405
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
406
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
407
 
408
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
409
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
410
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
411
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
412
 
413

427
      character.
428
 
429
    * Toolset: SunWorks
430
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
431
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
432
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
433
      masking an error.
434

444
        - Return correct path to package
445
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
446
 
447
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
448
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
449
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
450
 
451
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
452
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
453
      packages.
454
 
455
    * make command: show
456
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
457
      'jats make show' command.
458
 
459
    * Utility: create_dpkg
460
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
461
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
462
 
463
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
464
      executed on Unix machines.

826
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
827
      Not recommended for general use.
828
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
829
      directories within the current view.
830
 
831
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
832
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
833
      elsewhere.
834
 
835
    * Jats save_build
836
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
837
      the determination of a branch.
838
 
839
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
840
      up labeling by the build daemons.
841
 
842
    * Jats build
843
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
844
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
845
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
846
 
847
    * Borland6 toolset
848
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
849
      to match the documented install location of:
850
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
851
 
852
    * Jats build
853
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
854
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
855
      This is a very quick operation.
856
 
857
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
858
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
859
 
860
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
861
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
862
      files are only recreated if need be.
863
 
864
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
865
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
866
      make the package.
867
 
868
    * Jats sandbox
869
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
870
 
871
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
872
      be a complete build of all component packages.
873
 
874
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
875
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
876
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
877
      is performed.
878
 
879
Internal:
880
    * build.pl
881
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

Major changes:
914
 
915
Minor changes:
916
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
917
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
918
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
919
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
920
 
921
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
922
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
923
 
924
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
925
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
926
      platform builds.
927
 
928
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
929
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
930
      directory tree.
931
 
932
    * New command: jats man
933
      Produces full help on a specified item.

323 dpurdie 944
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
946
Major changes:
947
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
948
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
949
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
950
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
951
 
952
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
953
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
954
 
955
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
956
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
957
 
958
      Examples:
959
            jats upddep -show
960
            jats upddep -show=vtk
961
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
962
 
963
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
964
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
965
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
966
 
967
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
968
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
969
 
970
Minor changes:
971
 
972
Internal changes:
973
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
979
Major changes:
980
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
981
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
982
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
983
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
984
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
985
      stream.
986
 
987
      Example:
988
 
989
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
990
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
991
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
992
                     );
993
Minor changes:
994
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
995
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
996
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
997
      directive.
998
 
999
    * GCC Toolkit
1000
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1001
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1002
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1003
      the point of termination.
1004
 
1005
    * Jats save_build utility
1006
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1007
      under windows.
1008
 
1009
    * Jats sandbox
1010
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1011
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1012
      in different sandboxes.
1013
 
1014
    * Jats release
1015
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1016

Minor changes:
1023
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1024
      Added -locatedir=name
1025
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1026
      directory.
1027
 
1028
    * jats label utility
1029
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1030
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1031
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1032
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1033
 
1034
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1035

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1040
 
1041
Minor changes:
1042
    * WinCe Toolsets
1043
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1044
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1045
        noExceptions            - Disable
1046
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1047
      Example:
1048
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1049
 
1050
    * Solaris targets
1051
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1052
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1053
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1054
      machine type.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1059
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1060
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1061
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1062
      project files.
1063
 
1064
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1065
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1066
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1067
 
1068
Minor changes:
1069
    * Added more internal documentation
1070
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1071
 
1072
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1073
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1074
 
1075
    * Jats save_build utility
1076
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1077
      under windows.
1078
 
1079
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1080
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1081
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1082
      libraries.
1083
 
1084
    * Solaris builds
1085
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1086
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1087
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1088
      of the build failure.
1089
 
1090
 
1091
Internal changes:
1092
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1093
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1094
 
1095
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1096
      PkgArchive topics.

1100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1101
Major changes:
1102
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1103
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1104
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1105
      existing 32-bit builds.
1106
 
1107
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1108
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1109
 
1110
Minor changes:
1111
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1112
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1113
 
1114
    * Package searching
1115
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1116
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1117
 
1118
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1119
 
1120
    * jats help
1121
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1122
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1123
 
1124
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1125
      with one of:
1126
        jats -h
1127
        jats help jats
1128
 
1129
Internal:
1130
    * cmdfile utility
1131
      Added macros:
1132
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1133
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1134
 
1135
      Corrected
1136
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1137
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1138
 
1139
      Extended
1140
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1141
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1142
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1143
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1152
Internal changes
1153
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1154
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1155
      Useful side effects include:
1156
 
1157
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1158
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1159
 
1160
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1161
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1162
 
1163
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1164
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1165
        BuildPkgArchive
1166
 
313 dpurdie 1167
    * Perl Modules
1168
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1169
      release. This will:
1170
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1171
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1172
          reported by ERG.
1173
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
1181
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1182
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1183
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1184
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1185
 
1186
    * Jats label utility
1187
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1188
 
1189
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1190
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1191
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1192
 
1193
    * Jats core
1194
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1195
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1196
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1205
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1206
      This is now fixed.
1207
 
309 dpurdie 1208
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1209
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1210
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1211
 
1212
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1213
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1221
    * Generating makefiles
1222
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1223
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1224
      an error.
1225
 
1226
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1227
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1228
 
1229
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1230
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1236
Major changes:
1237
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1238
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1239
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1240
 
1241
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1242
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1243
 
1244
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1245
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1246
      Support includes
1247
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1248
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1249
 
1250
Minor changes:
1251
    * Build file processing
1252
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1253
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1254
 
1255
    * MOS builds
1256
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1257
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1258
 
1259
    * MOS builds
1260
      New 'known' product: PICP
1261
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1262
 
1263
    * GenerateFiles directive
1264
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1265
        under windows.
1266
 
1267
        .
1268
 
1269
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1270
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1271
 
1272
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1273
      to the output stream.
1274
 
1275
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1276
 
1277
    * Windows Shell
1278
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1279
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1280
 
1281
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1282
 
1283
    * H8S toolset
1284
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1285
 
1286
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1287
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1288
 
1289
Internal changes
1290
    * WinCe builds
1291
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1292
      content of the file.
1293
 
1294
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1295
 
1296
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1297
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1309
Major changes:
1310
 
1311
Minor changes:
1312
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1313
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1314
      Changes are transparent to users.
1315
 
1316
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1317
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1318
      this occurs.
1319
 
1320
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1321
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1322
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1323
      automated build framework.
1324
 
1325
    * jats sandbox command
1326
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1327
      'create' command.
1328
 
1329
    * jats command aliases. Added
1330
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1331
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1332

1335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1336
Major changes:
1337
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1338
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1339
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1340
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1341
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1342
      will work as expected
1343
 
1344
Minor changes:
1345
    * VS2008 Toolset
1346
      Picking up incorrect config details
1347
      May result in a warning message.
1348
 
1349
    * gen_cots utility
1350
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1351
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1352
 
1353
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1354
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1355
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
1356

      Fixed DLL Version Number
1370
 
1371
    * DELPHI7 Toolset
1372
      Minor correction discovered during use.
1373
      Existing tools to create a .lib from .dll had serious path length issues
1374
      Extended the compiler search paths
1375
 
1376

289 dpurdie 1400
Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
1401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1402
Major changes:
1403
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1404
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1405
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1406
 
1407
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1408
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1409
 
1410
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1411
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1412
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1413
           names cannot be changed.
1414
 
1415
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1416
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1417
 
1418
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1419
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1420
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1421
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1422
 
1423
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1424
      file.
1425
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1426
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1427
      MyPackage.dpk.
1428
 
1429
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1430
      file.
1431
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1432
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1433
      MyDll.dpr.
1434
 
1435
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1436
      file.
1437
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1438
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1439
      MyProg.dpr.
1440
 
1441
Minor changes:
1442
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1443
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1444
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1445
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1446
 
1447
    * BuildVersion directive
1448
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1449
      in a Delphi Unit.
1450
 
1451
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1452
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1453
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1454
      'know' the location of the files.
1455
 
1456
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1457
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1458
 
1459
Internal Changes:
1460
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1461
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1462
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1463
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1464
 
1465
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1466
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1467
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
1468

287 dpurdie 1470
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
1471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1472
Major changes:
1473
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1474
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1475
      information for purely C++ builds.
1476
 
289 dpurdie 1477
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1478
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1479
 
289 dpurdie 1480
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
1481
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
1482
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1483
 
1484
Minor changes:
1485
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
1486
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
1487
 
1488
    * updatenodespec utility
1489
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
1490
      Manager database.

1500
      Not completly fixed, but much better than before.
1501
 
1502
    * Escrow tool
1503
      Remove warning created during normal operation
1504

      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
1513
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
1514
 
1515
Minor changes:
1516
    * MergeLibrary directive
1517
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
1518
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
1519
 
1520

1524
Major changes:
1525
 
1526
Minor changes:
1527
    * New command: jats make show
1528
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
1529
      used in the build.
1530
 
1531
    * Escrow command
1532
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1533
 
1534
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1535
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1536
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1537
 
1538
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
1539
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
1540
 
1541

279 dpurdie 1542

277 dpurdie 1543
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1544
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1545
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1546
 
279 dpurdie 1547
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1548
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1549
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1550
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1551
 
1552
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1553
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1554
 
1555
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1556
 
1557
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1558
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1559
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1560
 
1561
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1562
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1563
        processed.
1564
 
1565
      Removed the '-delete' option
1566
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1567
 
277 dpurdie 1568
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1569
    * Sandbox command
1570
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1571
 
1572
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1573
      target from consideration in the build set.
1574
 
1575
    * MCR Toolset
1576
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1577
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1578
 
1579
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1580
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1581
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1582
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1583
 
1584
    * Jats run_test command
1585
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1586
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1587
 
1588
    * descpkg file
1589
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1590
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1591
 
1592
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1593
     Now contains build trace information
1594
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1595
 
1596
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1597
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1598
     it contains 'jar' files.
1599
 
1600
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1601
 
1602
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow

2033
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2034
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2035
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2036
 
2037
Minor changes:
2038
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2039
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2040

2047
Major changes:
2048
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2049
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2050
 
2051
      New platforms:
2052
        CSHARP2005
2053
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2054
         Support extends to allow:
2055
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2056
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2057
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2058
 
2059
        VS2005
2060
         Support extends to allow:
2061
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2062
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2063
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2064
 
2065
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2066
      through a version selector:
2067
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2068
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2069
 
2070
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2071
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2072
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2073
 
2074
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2075
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2076
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2077
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2078
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2079
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2080
          under VS2005.
2081
 
2082
Minor changes:
2083
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
2088
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2089
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2090
 
2091
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2092
 
2093
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2094
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2095
 
2096
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2097
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2098
      a minimal value of perl.
2099
 
2100
      Removed excessive require statements.
2101
 
2102
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2103

2104
      Include JATS specific files for
2105
        1) Windows
2106
        2) Linux
2107
 
2108
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2109
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2110
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2111
      machines.
2112
 
2113
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2114
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

2118
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2119
 
2120
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2121
      wrapper scripts.
2122
 
2123
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2124
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2125
      Spell check help and code.

2178
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2179
  * New toolset and platform
2180
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2181
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2182
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2183
    this platform.
2184
 
2185
Minor changes:
2186
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2187
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2188
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2189
    work.
2190
 
2191
  * Jats utility: release
2192
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2193
    published to dpkg_archive.
2194
 
249 dpurdie 2195
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2196
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2197
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2198
    supported for ANT builds.
2199
 
2200
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2201
        releasemanager.releasename
2202
        releasemanager.projectname
2203
 
2204
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2205
    tagged data item of the form
2206
 
2207
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2208
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2209
 
2210
  * Mug File Generation
2211
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2212
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2213
 
2214
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2215
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2216
    required.
2217
 
2218
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2219
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2220
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2221
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2222
    the files in order to use them.
2223
 
2224
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2225
    locate the file.
2226
 
2227
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2228
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2229
 
2230
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2231
        * CSharp
2232
        * Properties
2233
        * WinRC
2234
 
2235
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2236
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2237
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2238
    Value is correctly assigned.

Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2244
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2245
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2246
 
2247
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2248
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2249
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2250
 
2251
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2252
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2253
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2254
 
2255
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2256
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2257
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2258
 
2259
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2260
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2261
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2262
    correct.
2263
 
2264
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2265
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2266
 
2267
Minor changes:
2268
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2269
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2270
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2271
 
2272
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2273
    This will simplify new user setup.
2274
 
2275
  * All Unix Toolsets
2276
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2277
    on unix systems
2278
 
2279
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2280
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2281
    on some Solaris Machines.
2282
 
2283
  * JATS -version=<version>
2284
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2285
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2286

2330
  * JATS builds
2331
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

2333
    mode.
2334
 
2335
  * JATS makefiles
2336
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2337
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2338
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2339
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2340
                            SetList directive.
2341
 
2342

2351
  * JATS buildfile processing
2352
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2353
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2354
    of JATS.
2355

      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2388
 
2389
    * MOS Toolset
2390
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2391
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2392
 
2393
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
2394
      can have production (PIC) components.
2395
 
2396
    * Utility command: jats abt
2397
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option
2398
 
2399
    * Utility command: jats extract -extractfiles
2400
      The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories
2401
 
2402
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
2403
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2404
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2405
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
2431
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
2432
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 2433
 
235 dpurdie 2434

    * Extract/Release utility.
2440
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2441
      that can handle spaces
2442
 
2443
    * MOS Compiler
2444
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2445
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2446
 
2447
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2448
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2449
      descpkg files to be copied.
2450
 
2451
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2452
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Major changes:
2485
 
2486
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2487
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2488
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2489
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2490
 
2491
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2492
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2493
 
2494
    * Jats wrapper
2495
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2496
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
2497

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
2500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2501
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2502
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2503
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2504
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2505
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2506
 
2507
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2508
 
2509
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2510
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2511
 
2512
    * Running Jats
2513
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2514
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2515
      This may affect some windows developers.
2516
 
2517
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2518
      Future versions will generate an error.
2519
 
2520
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2521
 
2522
Minor changes:
2523
    * Perl Version Check
2524
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2525
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2526
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2527
 
2528
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2529
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2530
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2531
      build.
2532
 
2533
    * Jats Internals
2534
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2535
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2536
 
2537
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2538
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2539
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2540
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2541
      process.
2542
 
2543
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2544
      Only works under Windows.
2545
 
2546
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2547
 
2548
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2549
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2550
 
2551
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2552
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2553
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2554
 
2555
    * Jats eprog
2556
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2557
      directory.
2558
 
2559
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2560
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2561
      build metrics.
2562
 
2563

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2566
Major changes:
2567
 
2568
Minor changes:
2569
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2570
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2571
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2572
      automated build system. New options are:
2573
        -pname=Package_Name
2574
        -pversion=Package_Version
2575
 
2576
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2577
      transferring the package. New options are:
2578
        -test
2579
 
2580
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2581
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2582
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2583
 
2584
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2585
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2586
 
2587
    * Solaris Toolset
2588
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2589
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2590
      programs are still supported.
2591

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2593
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
2594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2595
Major changes:
2596
 
2597
Minor changes:
2598
    * WINCE toolsets
2599
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2600
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2601
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2602
      when header files cannot be found.
2603
 
2604
    * GenerateFiles directive
2605
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2606
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2607
      that are difficult to solve.
2608
 
2609
    * MakePerlModule directive
2610
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2611
      to the the module builder.
2612
 
2613
    * Jats Tool: label
2614
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2615
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2616
      -dirs=xxx options.
2617
 
2618
    * Jats Tool: release
2619
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2620
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2621
 
2622
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2623
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2624
 
2625
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2626
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2627
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2628
 
2629
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

2634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2635
Major changes:
2636
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
2637
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
2638
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
2639
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
2640
 
2641
Minor changes:
2642
    * label utility
2643
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
2644
 
2645
    * make package and install operations
2646
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
2647
      transfer.
2648
 
2649
    * make clean up
2650
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
2651
 
2652
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
2653
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
2654
      minor file transformations such as:
2655
        Copy, with optional rename
2656
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
2657
        Perform simple TAG replacement
2658
 
2659
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
2660
 
2661
    * jats release utility
2662
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
2663
      in place.
2664
 
2665
    * escrow utility
2666
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
2667
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.
2668

2672
Major changes:
2673
 
2674
Minor changes:
2675
    * Makefile generation
2676
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
2677
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
2678
      generate phase early.
2679
 
2680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2681
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
2682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2683
Major changes:
2684
 
2685
Minor changes:
2686
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
2687
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
2688
 
2689
    * Makefile generation
2690
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
2691
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
2692
 
2693
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
2694
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
2695
 
2696
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
2697
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
2698
      branch. The locks will be removed.
2699
 
2700
    * jats_rewrite utility
2701
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
2702
 
2703
    * jats escrow utility
2704
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
2705
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
2706
 
2707
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
2708
      inconsistent packages.
2709
 
2710
    * jats make help
2711
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
2712
      available within the current build.
2713
 
2714
    * jats makefiles
2715
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
2716
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
2717
 
2718
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
2719
      pl, then it will be ignored.
2720
 
2721
    * gcc toolset
2722
      SharedLibries.
2723
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2724
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2725
 
2726
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2727
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2728
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
2729
 
2730
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
2731
        New options:
2732
            --MultiScan
2733
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
2734
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2735
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.
2736

2739
Version: 2.71.1.cr                                Released: 16-Oct-07
2740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2741
Major changes:
2742
 
2743
Minor changes:
2744
    PackageLib directive
2745
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2746
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2747
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2748
 
2749
    MakefileGenerate directive
2750
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2751
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2752
 
2753
    Multiple Parent detection
2754
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2755
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2756
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2757
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2758
 
2759
    Solaris Toolset
2760
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2761
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2762
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2763
    link.
2764
 
2765
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
2766
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
2767
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
2768
 
2769
    Make and generation of subdirectories
2770
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
2771
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
2772
    file.
2773

2777
Major changes:
2778
    Makefile generation and make recursion
2779
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
2780
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
2781
 
2782
    Summary of changes:
2783
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
2784
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
2785
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
2786
          flexibility.
2787
 
2788
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
2789
 
2790
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
2791
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
2792
          interface directory and associated build information.
2793
 
2794
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
2795
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
2796
          than one second.
2797
 
2798
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
2799
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
2800
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
2801
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
2802
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
2803
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
2804
 
2805
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
2806
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
2807
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
2808
 
2809
        - Better makefile rebuilding
2810
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
2811
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
2812
          building them.
2813
 
2814
        - Detection of build file changes
2815
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
2816
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
2817
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
2818
 
2819
        - Quieter make output
2820
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
2821
 
2822
 
2823
Minor changes:
2824
    MakeAnt Directive
2825
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
2826
 
2827
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
2828
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
2829
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
2830
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
2831
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
2832
 
2833
    CSHARP toolset
2834
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
2835

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
2843
    are generated.
2844
 
2845
    MakeAnt
2846
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
2847
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
2848
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
2849
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
2850
 
2851
    MCR platform

2860
Minor changes:
2861
    MakeAnt directive extended
2862
    New option: --PackageBase
2863
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
2864
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
2865
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
2866
 
2867
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
2868
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
2869
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
2870
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
2890
 
2891
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
2892
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
2893
 
2894
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
2895
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
2896
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
2897
 
2898
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
2899
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
2900
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

2928
Minor changes:
2929
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
2930
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
2931
 
2932
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
2933
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
2934
      last.
2935
 
2936
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
2937
 
2938
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
2939
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
2940
 
2941
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
2942
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
2943
 
2944
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
2945
 
2946
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
2947
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
2948
 
2949
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
2950
 
2951
 
2952
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
2953
           with the --System option
2954
 
2955
    * LMOS target platform

2961
Major changes:
2962
 
2963
Minor changes:
2964
    * Solaris Toolset
2965
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
2966
      dependent packages.
2967
 
2968
    * RunTest operation
2969
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
2970
 
2971
    * Csharp toolkit
2972

2975
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
2976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2977
Major changes:
2978
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
2979
 
2980
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
2981
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
2982
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
2983
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
2984
      path.
2985
 
2986
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
2987
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
2988
      reproducible.
2989
 
2990
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
2991
      This is better than building incorrectly.
2992
 
2993
      There are several aspects to the change
2994
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
2995
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
2996
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
2997
 
2998
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
2999
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3000
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3001
          controlled separately.
3002
 
3003
Minor changes:
3004
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3005
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3006
        Remove duplicates
3007
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3008

3011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3012
Major changes:
3013
 
3014
Minor changes:
3015
    * Makefile sanity test
3016
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3017
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3018
 
3019
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3020
      x86 machine.
3021
 
3022
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3023
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3024
 
3025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3026
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3027
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3028
Major changes:
3029
    * RunTest directive
3030
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3031
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3032
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3033
 
3034
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3035
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3036
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3037
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3038
 
3039
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3040
        builder within the current toolset.
3041
 
3042
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3043
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3044
 
3045
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3046
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3047
      containing the RunTest directive.
3048
 
3049
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3050
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3051
 
3052
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3053
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3054
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3055
 
3056
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3057
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3058
                            P or D suffix.
3059
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3060
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3061
 
3062
Minor changes:
3063
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3064
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3065
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3066
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3067
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3068
 
3069
    * Save Build Utility
3070
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3071
      used in a ripple build.
3072
 
3073
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3074
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3075
 
3076
    * Release Utility
3077
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3078
      when an error is encountered.
3079
 
3080
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3081
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3082
 
3083
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3084
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3085
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3086
 
3087
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3088
      before the makefiles are created.
3089
 
3090
    * TestProg directive
3091
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3092
 
3093
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3094
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3095
 
3096

3099
Major changes:
3100
    * New build target
3101
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3102
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3103
 
3104
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3105
            DEVLINUX
3106
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3107
 
3108
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3109
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3110
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3111
 
3112
Minor changes:
3113
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3114
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3115
 
3116
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3117
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3118
 
3119
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3120
      and .cs files.
3121
 
3122
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3123
      thing.
3124
 
3125
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3126
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3127
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3128
      were it places temp files.
3129
 
3130
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3131
      interaction with other builds.
3132
 
3133
    * Release utility command
3134
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3135
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3136
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3153
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3154
 
3155
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

Version: JATS_2.65.2                                Released: 06-Jun-07
3183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3184
Major changes:
3185
 
3186
Minor changes:
3187
  * WINCE Support
3188
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3189
 
3190
  * Removed the following targets
3191
        TP5600
3192
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3193
        TP5600_EMU
3194
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3195
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3196
 
3197
  * Deployment
3198
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3199
 
3200
  * build.pl
3201
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3202
 
3203
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3204
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3205
 
3206
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3207
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3208
    build.
3209
 
3210
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3211
 
3212
  * Tool: escrow
3213
     New features
3214
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3215
     are not in the SBOM.
3216
 
3217
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3218
 
3219
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3220
 
3221
 
3222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3223
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3225
Major changes:
3226
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3227
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3228
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3229
 
3230
  * GenerateFiles
3231
    Added the options:
3232
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3233
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3234
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3235
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3236
 
3237
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3238
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3239
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3240
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3241
                                  required.
3242
 
3243
 
3244
Minor changes:
3245
  * GenerateFile directive
3246
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3247
 
3248
  * GCC Toolset
3249
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3250
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3251
    be rebuilt.
3252
 
3253
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3254
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3255
 
3256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3257
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3259
Major changes:
3260
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3261
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3262
    environment variables.
3263
 
3264
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3265
            moved.
3266
 
3267
    This will affect users that:
3268
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3269
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3270
 
3271
        2) Use the ABT system
3272
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3273
           the required configuration
3274
 
3275
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3276
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3277
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3278
    Windows
3279
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3280
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3281
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3282
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3283
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3284
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3285
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3286
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3287
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3288
 
3289
 
3290
  * New build platforms
3291
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3292
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3293
 
3294
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3295
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3296
 
3297
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3298
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3299
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3300
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3301
 
3302
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3303
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3304
    release.
3305
 
3306
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3307
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3308
 
3309
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3310
    need to be converted.
3311
 
3312
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3313
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3314
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3315
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3316
    used for different targets platforms.
3317
 
3318
  * Sandbox support
3319
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3320
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3321
 
3322
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3323
 
3324
Minor changes:
3325
 
3326
 
3327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3328
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3330
Major changes:
3331
  * MakeAnt directive
3332
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3333
 
3334
    New options
3335
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3336
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3337
 
3338
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3339
    run_unit_tests phase.
3340
 
3341
  * Sandbox support
3342
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3343
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3344
 
3345
Minor changes:
3346
  * jats build
3347
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3348
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3349
 
3350
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3351
 
3352
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3353
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3354
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3355
 
3356
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3357
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3358
 
3359
  * JATS.BAT
3360
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3361
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3362
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3363
 
3364
  * jats label
3365
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3366
 
3367
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3368
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3369
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3370
Major changes:
3371
  * New build platform:
3372
        LMOS_TP5600
3373
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3374
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3375
 
3376
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3377
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3378
    describe the group of platforms.
3379
 
3380
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3381
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3382
    build these targets.
3383
 
3384
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3385
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3386
 
3387
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3388
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3389
 
3390
  * New build platform: WINCE
3391
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3392
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3393
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3394
 
3395
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3396
            WCEIT3000
3397
            WCEPA961
3398
            WCEPA962
3399
            WCEPCM7220
3400
            WCEPSION_420
3401
            WCEPSPC_arm
3402
            WCEPSPC_emu
3403
            WCEX86A420
3404
            WCEX86A500
3405
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3406
 
3407
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3408
 
3409
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3410
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3411
    that contain packaging directives.
3412
 
3413
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3414
    very unusual configurations.
3415
 
3416
Minor changes:
3417
  * Directive: PackageFile
3418
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3419
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3420
    an '='.
3421
 
3422
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3423
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3424
 
3425
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3426
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3427
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3428
 
3429
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3430
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3431
 
3432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3433
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3435
Major changes:
3436
 
3437
  * JATS release command
3438
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3439
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3440
 
3441
    Rules are:
3442
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3443
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3444
                            File will be placed on a branch
3445
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3446
                            New directory will branch
3447
 
3448
Minor changes:
3449
  * JATS release command
3450
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3451
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3452
 
3453
  * JATS label command
3454
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3455
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3456
 
3457
  * JATS make
3458
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3459
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3460
    was re-packaged.
3461
 
3462
  * JATS escrow
3463
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3464
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3465
 
3466
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3467
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3468
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3469
 
3470
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3471
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3472
    interface directory.
3473
 
3474
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3475
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3476
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3477
    directory as seen by the package.
3478
 
3479
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3480
 
3481
  * JAVA 6
3482
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3483
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3484
 
3485
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3486
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3487
 
3488
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3489
 
3490
  * Jats command: vars
3491
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3492
    These indicate potential problems.
3493
 
3494
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3495
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3496
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3497
Major changes:
3498
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3499
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3500
    libarry is also created.
3501
 
3502
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3503
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3504
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3505
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3506
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3507
    information contained within the file.
3508
 
3509
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3510
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3511
 
3512
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3513
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3514
 
3515
  * Building Perl Modules
3516
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3517
    documentation on the build machine.
3518
 
3519
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3520
 
3521
Minor changes:
3522
  * jats create_dpkg
3523
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3524
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3525
 
3526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3527
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3528
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3529
Major changes:
3530
  * JATS JAVA build target
3531
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3532
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3533
 
3534
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3535
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3536
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3537
    is then picked up as the default version.
3538
 
3539
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3540
    build.pl file.
3541
 
3542
Minor changes:
3543
  * jats release
3544
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3545
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3546
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3547
 
3548
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3549
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3550
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3551
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3552
    the name of the view.
3553
 
3554
  * GenerateFiles directive
3555
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3556
 
3557
  * MOS Toolset
3558
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3559
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3560
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3561
 
3562
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3563

3567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3568
Major changes:
3569
 
3570
Minor changes:
3571
  * JATS environment
3572
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3573
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3574
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3575
 
3576
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3577
 
3578
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3579
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3580
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3581
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3582
    to be packaged.
3583
 
3584
  * Generated makefiles
3585
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3586
 
3587
  * Generating MOS THX files
3588
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3589
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3590
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3591
 
3592
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3593
 
3594
  * JATS release
3595
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3596
 
3597
  * JATS extract
3598
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3599
 
3600
  * JATS Toolset
3601
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3602
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3603

3607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3608
Major changes:
3609
 
3610
Minor changes:
3611
  * jats label
3612
    Added a -vob=name option
3613
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3614
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3615
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3616
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3617
 
3618
    Added a -user=name option
3619
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3620
    label to the named user.
3621
 
3622
  * jats release
3623
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3624
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3625
 
3626
  * JATS build.pl
3627
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3628
    ie:
3629
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

3633
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3635
Major changes:
3636
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3637
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3638
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3639
    the makefile internals. ie:
3640
        --Var(BuildName)
3641
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3642
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3643
 
3644
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3645
 
3646
  * GenerateFiles
3647
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3648
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3649
 
3650
  * BuildPlatforms
3651
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3652
 
3653
Minor changes:
3654
  * GCC Toolset
3655
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3656
 
3657
Internal changes:
3658
  * GenerateFiles
3659
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3660
 
3661
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3662
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3663
 
3664
 
3665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3666
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3668
Major changes:
3669
  * Caching JATS
3670
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3671
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3672
 
3673
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3674
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3675
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3676
 
3677
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3678
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3679
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3680
 
3681
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3682
 
3683
Minor changes:
3684
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3685
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3686
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3687
 
3688
  * jats build
3689
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3690
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3691
    processed by the build.
3692
 
3693
  * jats build
3694
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3695
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3696
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3697
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3698
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3699
 
3700
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3701
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3702
    Path is not specified.
3703
 
3704
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3705
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3706
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3707
        --Dir=$Pinc
3708
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3709
 
3710
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3711
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3712
    Windows platform.
3713
 
3714
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3715
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3716
            by 'purecov.
3717
 
3718
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3719
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3720
 
3721
        - OPTIONS=purify
3722
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3723
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3724
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
3725

3729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3730
Major changes:
3731
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3732
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3733
    Example:
3734
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3735
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3736
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3737
 
3738
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3739
    been determined.
3740
 
3741
Minor changes:
3742
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3743
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3744
    located at build-time.
3745
 
3746
  * Unix based systems
3747
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3748
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3749
 
3750
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3751
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3752
    driver being built.
3753

3766
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
3767
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
3768
 
3769
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
3770
    dependancy information within a package.
3771
 
3772
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
3773
    messages.

3785
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
3786
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
3787
                      be run on every invocation.
3788
 
3789
 
3790

3795
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
3796
  There are two mechanism:
3797
 
3798
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
3799
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
3800
 
3801
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
3802
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
3803
 
3804
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
3805
  default.
3806
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
3807
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

3813
  * SunWorks Toolset
3814
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
3815
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
3816
    It is based on machine type.
3817
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
3818
 
3819
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
3820
 
3821
Minor changes:
3822

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
3849
 
3850
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
3851
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
3852
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
3853
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
3854
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
3855
 
3856
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
3857
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
3860
 
3861
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
3862
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

3924
    Theses are:
3925
        SOLARIS_SPARC
3926
        SOLARIS_AMD
3927
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The

3949
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
3950
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
3951
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
3952

    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
3972
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
3973
    using autoconf.
3974
 
3975
  * Generate directive
3976
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
3977
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
3978
 
3979
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

3983
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
3984
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3985
Major changes:
3986
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
3987
    Initial release.
3988
 
3989
Minor changes:
3990
 
3991

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3993
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
3994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3995
Major changes:
3996
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
3997
    Initial release.
3998
 
3999
  * Packaging directives
4000
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4001
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4002
 
4003
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4004
        SOLARIS
4005
        WIN32
4006
 
4007
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4008
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4009
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4010
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4011
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4012
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4013
 
4014
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4015
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4016
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4017
 
4018
 
4019
Minor changes:
4020
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4021
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4022
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4023
 
4024
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4025
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4026
    location
4027
 
4028
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4029
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4030
 
4031
  * Utility genrc
4032
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4033
 
4034
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4035
    Added option: -new
4036
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4037
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4038
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4039
 
4040
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4041
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4042
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4043
 
4044
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4045
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4046
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4047
 
4048
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4049
   features - in a uniform manner.
4050
 
4051
 
4052
Internal Changes:
4053
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4054
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4055
 
4056
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4057
        1) Platform information available at build time
4058
        2) Dynamic platform names
4059
 
4060
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4061
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4062
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4063
 
4064
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4065
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4066
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4067
 
4068
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4069
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4070
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4071
    needed.
4072
 
4073
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4074
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4075
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4076
    files from all of these.
4077

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4079
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4081
Major changes:
4082
 
4083
Minor changes:
4084
  * WinCE toolset
4085
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4086
 
4087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4088
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4090
Major changes:
4091
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4092
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4093
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4094
 
4095
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4096
 
4097
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4098
    the operations.
4099
 
4100
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4101
 
4102
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4103
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4104
 
4105
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4106
 
4107
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4108
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4109
 
4110
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4111
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4112
    Extended the built-in help
4113
    Added useful error messages
4114
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4115
 
4116
  * WinCE toolset
4117
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4118
 
4119
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4120
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4121
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4122
 
4123
Minor changes:
4124
  * JATS wrapper script
4125
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4126
    the command line.
4127
 
4128
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4129
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4130
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4131
 
4132
Internal Changes:
4133
  * Common Error Reporting
4134
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4135
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4136
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4137
    level.
4138
 
4139
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4140
    displayed.
4141
 
4142
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4143
 
4144
  * Added JatsSystem module
4145
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4147
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4149
Major changes:
4150
 
4151
Minor changes:
4152
  * BR Compiler toolset
4153
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4154
    .def files to include other files.
4155
 
4156
  * IAR toolset
4157
    Added AT7272 support
4158
 
4159
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4160
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4161
 
4162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4163
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4165
Major changes:
4166
 
4167
Minor changes:
4168
  * BR Compiler toolset
4169
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4170
    use.
4171
 
4172
 
4173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4174
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4176
Major changes:
4177
 
4178
Minor changes:
4179
  * Mictotec toolset
4180
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4181
    builds.
4182
 
4183
  * JATS Core
4184
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4185
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4186
    behaviour.
4187
 
4188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4189
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4191
Major changes:
4192
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4193
    Deployment package will be affected.
4194
 
4195
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4196
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4197
 
4198
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4199
 
4200
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4201
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4202
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4203
    packages.
4204
 
4205
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4206
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4207
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4208
 
4209
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4210
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4211
 
4212
Minor changes:
4213
  * SubDir directive
4214
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4215
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4216
 
4217
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4218
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4219
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4220
    of the file usage.
4221
 
4222
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4223
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4224
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4225
 
4226
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4227
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4228
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4229
 
4230
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4231
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4232
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4233
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4234
 
4235
 
4236
Internal Changes:
4237
  * Code refactor
4238
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4239
 
4240
  * Deployment utilities
4241
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4242
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4243
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4244
    the module can locate the file.
4245
 
4246
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4247
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4248
 
4249
  * JATS core
4250
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4251
 
4252
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4253
 
4254
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4255
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4256
    through the use of environment variables.
4257
 
4258
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4259
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4260
 
4261
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4262
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4263
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4264
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4265
 
4266
  * Make environment
4267
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4268
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4269
 
4270
 
4271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4272
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4274
Major changes:
4275
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4276
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4277
 
4278
 
4279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4280
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4282
 
4283
Not Released.
4284
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4285
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4286
 
4287
 
4288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4289
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4290
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4291
Major changes:
4292
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4293
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4294
    radically replaced.
4295
 
4296
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4297
    Usage:
4298
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4299
 
4300
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4301
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4302
    this solution:
4303
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4304
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4305
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4306
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4307
 
4308
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4309
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4310
    order to work.
4311
 
4312
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4313
    reduced functionality.
4314
 
4315
 
4316
Minor changes:
4317
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4318
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4319
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4320
 
4321
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4322
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4323
    within the makefiles.
4324
        Options:
4325
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4326
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4327
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4328
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4329
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4330
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4331
        Useage:
4332
 
4333
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4334
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4335
 
4336
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4337
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4338
    is not in the current directory.
4339
 
4340
  * Jats Command: ant'
4341
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4342
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4343
 
4344
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4345
 
4346
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4347
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4348
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4349
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4350
 
4351
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4352
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4353
    Thus
4354
 
4355
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4356
 
4357
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4358
 
4359

4361
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4363
Major changes:
4364
 
4365
Minor changes:
4366
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4367
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4368
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4369
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4370
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4371
 
4372
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4373
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4374
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4375
 
4376
Internal changes:
4377
  * JATS toolsets
4378
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4379
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4380
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4381
 
4382
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4383
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4384
 
4385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4386
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4388
Major changes:
4389
  * Jats command: etool
4390
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4391
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4392
 
4393
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4394
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4395
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4396
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4397
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4398
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4399

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4404
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4406
Major changes:
4407
  * JATS environment variables
4408
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4409
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4410
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4411
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4412
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4413
 
4414
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4415
              Remote repository
4416
 
4417
    Added GBE_DPLY
4418
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4419
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4420
 
4421
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4422
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4423
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4424
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4425
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4426
 
4427
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4428
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4429
 
4430
 
4431
Minor changes:
4432
  * JATS utility: build
4433
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4434
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4435
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4436
 
4437
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4438
    Ensure label is not locked
4439
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4440
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4441
 
4442
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4443
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4444
    to a specific type of build.
4445
 
4446
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4447
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4448
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4449
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4450
 
4451
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4452
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4453
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4454
 
4455
  * JATS utility: release
4456
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4457
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4458
 
4459
  * JATS utility: label
4460
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4461
    when it is being created.
4462
 
4463
Internal Changes
4464
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4465
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4466
 
4467
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4468
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4469
 
4470
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4471
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4472
    different results.
4473
 
4474
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4475
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4476
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4477
 
4478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4479
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4481
Major changes:
4482
 
4483
  * MCR toolset
4484
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4485
 
4486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4487
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4488
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4489
Major changes:
4490
  * WIN32 utilities
4491
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4492
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4493
 
4494
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4495
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4496
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4497
 
4498
Minor changes:
4499
  * BuildVersion
4500
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4501
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4502
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4503
 
4504
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4505
 
4506
  * Unix Builds
4507
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4508
    library or a shared library.
4509
 
4510
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4511
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4512
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4513
    start with 'lib'.
4514
 
4515
  * BuildPkgArchive
4516
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4517
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4518
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4519
 
4520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4521
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4523
Major changes:
4524
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4525
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4526
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4527
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4528
    being manually maintained.
4529
 
4530
 
4531
Minor changes:
4532
  * MakeAnt directive
4533
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4534
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4535
    supports ANT builds.
4536
 
4537
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4538
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4539
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4540
 
4541
  * Label utility
4542
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4543
    files to be labeled.
4544
 
4545
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4546
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4547
    on Solaris.
4548
 
4549
  * Generated makefiles
4550
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4551
    nothing.
4552
 
4553
  * MOS Toolset
4554
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4555
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4556
    modules.
4557
 
4558
  * Utility: gen_cots
4559
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4560
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4561
 
4562
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4563
 
4564
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4565
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4566
 
4567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4568
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4569
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4570
Major changes:
4571
  None
4572
 
4573
Minor changes:
4574
  * DEVI addressed
4575
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4576
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4577
 
4578
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4579
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4580
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4581
 
4582
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4583
 
4584
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4585
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4586
 
4587
  * RunTest directive
4588
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4589
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4590
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4591
 
4592
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4593
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4594
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4595
    packaged under JATS
4596
 
4597
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4598
          supported within JATS.
4599
 
4600
  * Jats utility wrapper
4601
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4602
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4603
 
4604
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4605
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4606
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4607
 
4608
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4609
    Eg: jats ant
4610
 
4611
  * Jats utility wrapper
4612
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4613
 
4614
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4615
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4616
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4617
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4618
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4619
 
4620
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4621
    expect a build.pl file.
4622
 
4623
  * Jats utility wrapper
4624
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4625
 
4626
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4627
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4628
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4629
 
4630
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4631
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4632
 
4633
  * Build files
4634
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
4635
    ERG extensions.
4636
 
4637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4638
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4640
Major changes:
4641
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4642
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4643
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4644
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4645
 
4646
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4647
 
4648
Minor changes:
4649
  * None
4650
 
4651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4652
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4654
Major changes:
4655
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4656
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4657
    ie:
4658
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4659
 
4660
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4661
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4662
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4663
    environments are compatible.
4664
 
4665
 
4666
Minor changes:
4667
  * BuildName option
4668
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4669
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4670
 
4671
  * jats.bat
4672
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4673
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4674
 
4675
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4676
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
4677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4678
Major changes:
4679
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4680
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4681
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4682
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4683
 
4684
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4685
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4686
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4687
 
4688
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4689
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4690
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4691
 
4692
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4693
    transferred.
4694
 
4695
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4696
    See notes below.
4697
 
4698
  * WIN32 toolset
4699
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4700
    correctly.
4701
 
4702
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4703
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4704
 
4705
  * BuildVersion
4706
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4707
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4708
    other langauges as needed.
4709
 
4710
 
4711
Minor changes:
4712
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4713
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4714
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4715
    version strings.
4716
 
4717
  * GenerateFiles directive
4718
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4719
    package or an imported package.
4720
 
4721
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4722
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4723
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4724
 
4725
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4726
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4727
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4728
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4729
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4730
 
4731
Internal Changes
4732
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4733
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4734
    of utilities.
4735
 
4736
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4737
    functions.
4738
 
4739
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4740
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4742
Major changes:
4743
  * Generated makefiles
4744
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4745
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4746
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4747
 
4748
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4749
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4750
    incorrectly processing:
4751
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4752
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4753
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4754
    confused.
4755
 
4756
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4757
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4758
    The construct
4759
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4760
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4761
    then it works.
4762
 
4763
  * MakeAnt directive
4764
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
4765
 
4766
    This option has the following effects
4767
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
4768
           can be used installed and manipulated.
4769
 
4770
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
4771
           early - in the generated files phase.
4772
 
4773
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
4774
    component needs to generate a header file early.
4775
 
4776
 
4777
Minor changes:
4778
  * JATS post-installation script
4779
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
4780
 
4781
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
4782
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
4783
    windows.
4784
 
4785
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
4786
    Handle all variants of BuildName
4787
 
4788
  * Jats wrapper script
4789
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
4790
        1) Contain spaces
4791
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
4792
 
4793
  * Toolset
4794
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
4795
 
4796
  * JAVA toolset
4797
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
4798
    directive:
4799
 
4800
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
4801
 
4802
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
4803
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
4804
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
4805
 
4806
  * GCC Toolset
4807
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
4808
 
4809
  * Makefile generation
4810
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
4811
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
4812
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
4813
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
4814
    package could not be used.
4815
 
4816
  * Unit Tests
4817
    The following environment variables are set:
4818
 
4819
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
4820
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
4821
 
4822
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
4823
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
4824
 
4825
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
4826
 
4827
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4828
 
4829
 
4830

4831
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
4832
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4833
Major changes:
4834
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
4835
 
4836
    Special features of this toolset.
4837
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
4838
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
4839
       incorporated within the target image.
4840
 
4841
    2) Prog directive extensions:
4842
       --Set=Name=Value
4843
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
4844
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
4845
 
4846
       --Ref=name
4847
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
4848
                to provide information that will be placed within the
4849
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
4850
                will be taken from the build version number.
4851
 
4852
Minor changes:
4853
  * MOS Toolset
4854
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
4855
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
4856
    packaged.
4857
 
4858
  * Src directive
4859
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
4860
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
4861
    specifier.
4862
 
4863
  * WIN32 runtime support
4864
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
4865
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
4866
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
4867
 
4868
Internal:
4869
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
4870
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
4871
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
4872
 
4873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4874
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
4875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4876
Major changes:
4877
    * BuildAlias directive
4878
      Added options.
4879
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
4880
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
4881
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
4882
                          targets.
4883
      Eg:
4884
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
4885
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
4886
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
4887
 
4888
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
4889
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
4890
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
4891
 
4892
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
4893
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
4894
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
4895
 
4896
 
4897
Minor changes:
4898
  * Label utility
4899
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
4900
    build.pl file
4901
 
4902
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
4903
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
4904
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
4905
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
4906
    --FilterIn option.
4907
 
4908
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
4909
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
4910
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
4911
 
4912
  * Location of descpkg file
4913
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
4914
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
4915
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
4916
 
4917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4918
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
4919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4920
Major changes:
4921
  * RunTest directive
4922
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
4923
    Additional options
4924
      --CopyIn=file
4925
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
4926
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
4927
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
4928
        the test area.
4929
 
4930
    Additional operations
4931
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
4932
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
4933
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
4934
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
4935
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
4936
    Allows flags:
4937
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
4938
      --file        - file part of the pathname
4939
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
4940
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
4941
 
4942
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
4943
    existence is tested.
4944
 
4945
  * Packaging Directives
4946
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
4947
    such as LMOS.
4948
 
4949
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
4950
 
4951
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
4952
 
4953
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
4954
 
4955
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
4956
 
4957
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
4958
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
4959
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
4960
 
4961
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
4962
 
4963
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
4964
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
4965
 
4966
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
4967
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
4968
 
4969
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
4970
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
4971
 
4972
Minor changes:
4973
  * Script directive
4974
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
4975
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
4976
 
4977
  * JATS environment
4978
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
4979
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
4980
    the JATS wrapper script.
4981
 
4982
  * Label utility
4983
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
4984
    There are three modes of operation:
4985
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
4986
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
4987
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
4988
 
4989
 
4990
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4991
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
4992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4993
Major changes:
4994
 
4995
Minor changes:
4996
  * label utility
4997
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
4998
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
4999
 
5000
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5001
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5002
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5003
      --ProgLoader=name
5004
 
5005
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5006
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5007
    Options to do this are:
5008
        --TreeDir=name
5009
        --FilterOut=regexp
5010
        --FilterIn=regexp
5011
        --StripDir
5012
 
5013
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5014
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5015
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5016
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5017
 
5018
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5019
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5020
 
5021
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5022
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5023
 
5024
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5025
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5026
 
5027
 
5028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5029
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5031
Major changes:
5032
    * Make commands
5033
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5034
 
5035
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5036
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5037
 
5038
    * Label utility
5039
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5040
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5041
 
5042
Minor changes:
5043
    * Toolsets
5044
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5045
      variables and overrides.
5046
 
5047
      The make_init target is always run.
5048
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5049
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5050
 
5051
    * Deployment
5052
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5053
      with deployment operations.
5054
 
5055
    * Release utility
5056
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5057
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5058
      restricted by options within the build.
5059
 
5060
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5061
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5062
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5063
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5064
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5065
 
5066
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5067
      directives.
5068
 
5069
    * MakeProject directive
5070
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5071
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5072
 
5073
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5074
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5075
      is preserved.
5076
 
5077
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5078
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5079
      statements.
5080
 
5081
    * Mugfile generation
5082
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5083
      be placed in the target package.
5084
 
5085
 
5086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5087
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5088
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5089
Major changes:
5090
    * BuildVersion directive
5091
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5092
      number as well as a patch number.
5093
 
5094
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5095
      number.
5096
 
5097
Minor changes:
5098
    * AddFlags directives
5099
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5100
      duplicate flags being added.
5101
 
5102
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5103
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5104
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5105
 
5106
    * Mug File Generation
5107
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5108
 
5109
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5110
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5111
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5112
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5113
     directory.
5114
 
5115
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5116
     reproducible.
5117
 
5118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5119
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5121
Major changes:
5122
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5123
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5124
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5125
      longer a list of directories.
5126
 
5127
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5128
      done within the toolset.
5129
 
5130
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5131
 
5132
    * JATS environment variables
5133
      Redefined variable
5134
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5135
                          Previously was a list that included the
5136
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5137
 
5138
      New variable
5139
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5140
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5141
 
5142
 
5143
Minor changes:
5144
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5145
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5146
      target platforms to be extracted.
5147
 
5148
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5149
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5150
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5151
 
5152
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5153
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5154
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5155
 
5156
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5157
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5158
 
5159
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5160
      Support ANT based XML files
5161
 
5162
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5163
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5164
      structure.
5165
 
5166
    * makefile.pl's
5167
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5168
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5169
 
5170
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5171
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5172
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5173
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5174
 
5175
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5176
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5177
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5178
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5179
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5180
      -- Auto.
5181
 
5182
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5183
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5184
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5185
 
5186
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5187
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5188
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5189
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5190
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5191
 
5192
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5193
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5194
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5195
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5196
      installed on the machine.
5197
 
5198
    * WINCE Targets
5199
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5200
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5201
 
5202
 
5203

Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5206
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5207
Major changes:
5208
    * WIN32 platforms
5209
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5210
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5211
      and installed packages.
5212
 
5213
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5214
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5215
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5216
 
5217
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5218
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5219
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5220
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5221
      searched when looking for libraries.
5222
 
5223
Minor changes:
5224
    * GenerateFiles directive
5225
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5226
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5227
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5228
                          and drive letter
5229
 
5230
    * Src directive
5231
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5232
      directory of a package.
5233
 
5234
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5235
 
5236
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5237
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5238
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5239
 
5240
    * jats_rewrite utility
5241
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5242
 
5243
 
5244

5245
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5247
Major changes:
5248
    * SunWorks production builds
5249
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5250
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5251
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5252
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5253
      compiler documentation.
5254
 
5255
    * MOS Toolset
5256
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5257
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5258
 
5259
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5260
 
5261
Minor changes:
5262
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5263
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5264
      This should not affect current users.
5265
 
5266
    * Mugfile generation
5267
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5268
      specified.
5269
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5270
 
5271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5272
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5274
Major changes:
5275
    MOS Toolset
5276
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5277
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5278
 
5279
Minor changes:
5280
    * Jats wrapper script
5281
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5282
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5283
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5284
 
5285
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5286
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5287
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5288
      may be suspect.
5289
 
5290
    * GenerateFiles directive
5291
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5292
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5293
 
5294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5295
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5297
Major changes:
5298
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5299
      build.xml files.
5300
 
5301
Minor changes:
5302
    * WIN32 toolset.
5303
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5304
 
5305
    * MakeAnt
5306
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5307
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5308
 
5309
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5310
 
5311
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5312
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5313
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5314
 
5315
    * MakeAnt directive
5316
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5317
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5318
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5319
 
5320
      Recommended usage:
5321
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5322
 
5323
Internal Changes
5324
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5325

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5330
Major changes:
5331
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5332
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5333
      files packaged into the release.
5334
 
5335
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
5336

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5339
 
5340
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5341
      The recommended platform is:
5342
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5343
 
5344
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5345
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5346
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5347
      components.
5348
 
5349
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5353
 
5354
Minor changes:
5355
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5356
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5357
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5358
      by the package to be accessed.
5359
 
5360
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5361
      application or visual studio.
5362
 
5363
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5364
      and the JATS Core path.
5365
 
5366
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5367
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5368
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5369
 
5370
    * MOS Toolset
5371
      Add support for the TPT device
5372
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5373
 
5374
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5375
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5376
 
5377
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5378
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5379
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5380
 
5381
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5382
 
5383
Internal Changes
5384
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5385
      in jats.pl
5386
 
5387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5388
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5390
Major changes:
5391
    * JATS wrapper script
5392
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5393
 
5394
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5395
 
5396
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5397
 
5398
Minor changes:
5399
    * Deployment support
5400
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5401
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5402
 
5403
    * 'build'
5404
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5405
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5406
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5407
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5408
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5409
 
5410
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5411
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5412
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5413
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5414
                                      the link phase.
5415
 
5416
    * BuildPkgArchive
5417
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5418
      Previously these were ignored.
5419
      Minor code cleanup
5420
 
5421
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5422
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5423
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5424
 
5425
    * SOLARIS targets
5426
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5427
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5428
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5429
 
5430
    * MugFile generation
5431
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5432
      included in the final package.
5433
 
5434
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5435
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5436
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5437
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5438
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5439
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5440
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5441
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5442
 
5443
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5444
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5445
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5446
            --Option=(some_text)
5447
            --Option=[some_text]
5448
            --Option={some_text}
5449
 
5450
Internal Changes
5451
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5452
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5453
      code.
5454
 
5455

5456
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5458
Major changes:
5459
    * JATS wrapper script
5460
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5461
 
5462
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5463
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5464
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5465
      other components.
5466
 
5467
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5468
 
5469
    * JATS
5470
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5471
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5472
 
5473
    * Build operations
5474
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5475
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5476
      packages.
5477
 
5478
    * Make operations
5479
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5480
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5481
 
5482
Minor changes:
5483
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5484
      deployment builds.
5485
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5486
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5487
 
5488
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5489
 
5490
    * build.pl
5491
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5492
        processed. Allows
5493
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5494
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5495
        production.
5496
 
5497
    * MOS toolset
5498
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5499
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5500
 
5501
    * create_dpkg utility
5502
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5503
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5504
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5505
      progress of the build.
5506
 
5507
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5508
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5509
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5510
      system.
5511

5514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5515
Major changes:
5516
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5517
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5518
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5519
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5520
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5521
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5522
 
5523
    * WCEX86A500 target
5524
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5525
 
5526
    * MOS Toolsets
5527
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5528
      the compiler.
5529
 
5530
    * RunTest directive
5531
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5532
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5533
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5534
 
5535
Minor changes:
5536
    * JATS BUILD
5537
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5538
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5539
      highlight bad settings.
5540
 
5541
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5542
      access to extensions.
5543
 
5544

      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5550
 
5551
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5552
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5553
      under unix.
5554
 
5555
Minor changes:
5556
    * label utility
5557
      Added options to:
5558
        o Delete a label
5559
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5560
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5561
 
5562
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5563
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5564
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5565
      Package directives.
5566
 
5567
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5568
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5569
      system.
5570
 
5571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5572
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5574
Major changes:
5575
    * MOS Toolset
5576
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5577
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5578
 
5579
    * WIN32 Toolset
5580
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5581
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5582
      list.
5583
 
5584
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5585
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5586
 
5587
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5588
 
5589
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5590
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5591
 
5592
 
5593
Minor changes:
5594
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5595
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5596
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5597
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5598
      corrected.
5599
 
5600
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5601
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5602
 
5603
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5604
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5605
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.

5609
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5610
Major changes:
5611
    * WIN32 Toolset
5612
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5613
      use with multithreaded modes.
5614
 
5615
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5616
      --OnlyProd.
5617
 
5618
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5619
      within the makefile.pl.
5620
 
5621
Minor changes:
5622
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5623
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5624
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5625
      platforms.
5626
 
5627
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5628
 
5629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5630
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5632
Major changes:
5633
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5634
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5635
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5636
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5637
 
5638
    * Preliminary Support
5639
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5640
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5641
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5642
 
5643
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5644
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5645
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5646
 
5647
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5648
      building. The default build will build both.
5649
 
5650
Minor changes:
5651
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5652
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5653
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5654
 
5655
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5656
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5657
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5658
 
5659
 
5660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5661
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5663
Major changes:
5664
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5665
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5666
      or all.
5667
 
5668
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5669
      the library or program.
5670
 
5671
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5672
 
5673
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5674
      library or any debug files.
5675
 
5676
    * GenerateFiles
5677
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5678
 
5679
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5680
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5681
 
5682
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5683
              The filename of the prereq file
5684
 
5685
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5686
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5687
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5688
 
5689
 
5690
Minor changes:
5691
    * create_dpkg utility
5692
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5693
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5694
      the package has been altered.
5695

5699
Major changes:
5700
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
5701
      This is a WINCE target
5702
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5703
 
5704
    * New toolset
5705
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5706
 
5707
    * Modified toolset
5708
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5709
 
5710
    * Modified toolset
5711
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5712
 
5713
Minor changes:
5714
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5715
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5716
 
5717
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5718
 
5719
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5720
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5721
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5722
 
5723
      The change allows the construct
5724
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5725
      to be replaced by the simpler
5726
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5727
 
5728
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5729
      specified name.

5735
Major changes:
5736
    * Dependancy generator
5737
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
5738
      to allow for 4096 included files.

5749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5750
Major changes:
5751
    * The "package.pl" file.
5752
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5753
      package name being taken from the build name
5754
 
5755
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5756
      package Build Name.
5757
 
5758
Minor changes:
5759
    * create_dpkg utility
5760
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
5761
 
5762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5763

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5765
Major changes:
5766
 
5767
Minor changes:
5768
    * Dependancy generator
5769
      Correct two common situations
5770
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
5771
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
5772
           ansi, but is often done.
5773
 
5774
    * GCC toolset
5775
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
5776
      being created in the correct place.
5777
 
5778
    * jats "label"
5779
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
5780
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
5781
 
5782
 
5783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5784
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
5785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5786
Major changes:
5787
 
5788
Minor changes:
5789
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
5790
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
5791
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
5792
 
5793
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
5794
      pkg directory will be transferred.
5795
 
5796
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
5797
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
5798
      package was not being transferred.
5799
 
5800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5801
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
5802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5803
Major changes:
5804
    * Support for solaris_i386
5805
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
5806
      binaries for this target.
5807
 
5808
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
5809
      with the GCC compiler.
5810
 
5811
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
5812
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
5813
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
5814
 
5815
Minor changes:
5816
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5817
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
5818
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5819
 
5820
    * cbuild ( release) utility
5821
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
5822
 
5823
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5824
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
5825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5826
Major changes:
5827
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5828
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
5829
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5830
 
5831
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
5832
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
5833
 
5834
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
5835
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
5836
      with either " or ' characters.
5837
 
5838
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
5839
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5840
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5841
 
5842
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
5843
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5844
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5845
 
5846
    * Jats wrapper
5847
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
5848
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
5849
      further commands.
5850
 
5851
Minor changes:
5852
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
5853
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
5854
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
5855
      name of the .dep file and its content.
5856
 
5857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5858
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
5859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5860
Major changes:
5861
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
5862
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
5863
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
5864
 
5865
      These options operation affect all components within the
5866
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
5867
      then they will affect all components within the build.
5868
 
5869
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
5870
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
5871
 
5872
Minor changes:
5873
 
5874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5875
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
5876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5877
Major changes:
5878
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
5879
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
5880
 
5881
Minor changes:
5882
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
5883
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
5884
 
5885
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
5886
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
5887
 
5888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5889
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
5890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5891
Major changes:
5892
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
5893
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
5894
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
5895
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
5896
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
5897
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
5898
      installed.
5899
 
5900
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
5901
      libraries that depend on each other.
5902
 
5903
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
5904
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
5905
 
5906
Minor changes:
5907
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
5908
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
5909
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
5910
 
5911
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
5912
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
5913
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
5914
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
5915
 
5916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5917
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
5918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5919
Major changes:
5920
 
5921
Minor changes:
5922
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
5923
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
5924
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
5925
      file.
5926
 
5927
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
5928
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
5929
 
5930
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
5931
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
5932
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
5933
 
5934
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
5935
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
5936
 
5937
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
5938
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
5939
 
5940
    * WinCE toolsets
5941
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
5942
      compiler specific libraries.
5943
 
5944
    * SOLARIS toolset
5945
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
5946
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
5947
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
5948
 
5949
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
5950
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
5951
      cleaned up.
5952
 
5953
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
5954
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
5955
 
5956
    * jats_rewriter.pl
5957
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
5958
      with either " or ' characters.
5959

5963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5964
Major changes:
5965
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
5966
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
5967
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
5968
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
5969
 
5970
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
5971
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
5972
 
5973
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
5974
      user.
5975
 
5976
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
5977
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
5978
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
5979
 
5980
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
5981
      for the   -Gf option.
5982
 
5983
Minor changes:
5984
    * SOLARIS Toolset
5985
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
5986
 
5987
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
5988
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
5989
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
5990
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
5991

5994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5995
Major changes:
5996
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
5997
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
5998
 
5999
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6000
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6001
      data addresses for the board.
6002
 
6003
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6004
 
6005
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6006
 
6007
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6008
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6009
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6010
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6011
         PackageFile
6012
 
6013
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6014
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6015
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6016
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6017
 
6018
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6019
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6020
      to be installed and packaged.
6021
 
6022
Minor changes:
6023
 
6024
    * cache_dpkg utility
6025
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6026
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6027
 
6028
    * label utility
6029
      New option -auto to create and label
6030
 
6031
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6032
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6033
 
6034
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6035
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6036
      directory. ie:
6037
 
6038
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6039
 
6040
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6041
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6042
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.

6046
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6048
Major changes:
6049
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6050
 
6051
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6052
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6053
 
6054
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6055
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6056
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6057
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6058
 
6059
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6060
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6061
      compilation.
6062
 
6063
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6064
 
6065
Minor changes:
6066
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6067
      one is being produced.
6068
 
6069
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6070
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6071
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6072
 
6073
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6074
 
6075
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6076
 
6077
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6078
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6079
 
6080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6081
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6083
Major changes:
6084
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6085
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6086
 
6087
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6088
 
6089
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6090
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6091
      same directory
6092
 
6093
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6094
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6095
      documenattion.
6096
 
6097
Minor changes:
6098
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6099
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6100
 
6101
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6102
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6103
 
6104
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6105
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6106
 
6107
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6108
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6109
 
6110
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6111
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6112
      be exempt from this test.
6113
 
6114
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6115
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6116
 
6117
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6118
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6119
 
6120
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6121
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6122
      does.
6123
 
6124
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6125
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6126
 
6127
 
6128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6129
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6131
Major changes:
6132
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6133
 
6134
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6135
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6136
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6137
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6138
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6139
 
6140
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6141
      operations.
6142
 
6143
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6144
 
6145
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6146
 
6147
Minor changes
6148
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6149
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6150
 
6151
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6152
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6153
      directory is not added to the library path.
6154
 
6155
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6156
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6157
 
6158
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6159
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6160
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6161
 
6162
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6163
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6164
      specific flags.
6165
 
6166
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6167
 
6168
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6169
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6170
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6171
 
6172
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6173
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6174
      JATS.
6175
 
6176
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6177
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6178
 
6179
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6180
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6181
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6182
 
6183
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6184
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6185
 
6186
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6187
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6188
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6189
 
6190
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6191
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6192
 
6193
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6194
 
6195
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6196
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6197
 
6198
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6199
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6200
      objects.
6201
 
6202
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6203
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6204
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6205
      build defendants.
